PATENT
Dust Proof
Watches

were originally made for rail-
way men, whose service par
ticularly required an abso-
lutely tight closing case.
They have given entire
satisfaction, and their reputa-
tion has spread so rapidly,
that they have become the
standard Watches for Millers,
Miners, Lumbermen, Far
mers, Mechanics, Engineers,
Travellers and others whose
occupation requires a watch
which is proof against dust
and moisture.
Over 10000 WALTHAM
PATENT DUsT PROOF CASES
are now in actual use.
The WALTHAM were the
first PATENT DUST PROOF
CASES manufactured, and are
the only ones which COM
pletely exclude dust an d
moisture from the movement.

A Business View of the Effect of the
Interstate Commerce Law.
New York, April 2s.-Dun & CO., in
their review OF the past weeks business,
have this to say: For much of the embar-
rassment the changes in rail rates under the
interstate act are responsible. Many think
as the commission apparently does-that
the railroads have made the law an excuse
for unnecessary advances in rates, but the
the broad fact remains that great part Of
the business Of the country has been built up
under a system of special rates to encourage
especial localities or trades. The chief lnteD'
oil the act is to prohibit such special favors
An inevitable result is that the industries
and business Of great number of places are
disturbed
From Memphis comes complaint that rates
at country towns throughout that region
have been advanced with bound, so that
factories generally have closed, being IN
able to ship except at actual loss. From
Minneapolis it appeals officially that rates OF
-four from Chicago, not covered by sin
transit" contracts, have been advanced from
10 to 80 cents per barrel Boston protests as
loudly as Toledo, and the northwestern
roads as earnestly as the transporters across
the continent. Some are helped by the act
Ohio, Mississippi and lake transporters gain
advantages, and central wool growers rejoice
| that California wool is excluded from eastern
markets. But the stoppage of the system Of
special rates, through which Il large part oil
the industry aud trade of the country has
| been shared and developed, unavoidabiy
affects business generally

mischief not only to the prospects Of closer

Arrest of a French Official by German
Police Brings on Situation Of
.'strained Relations" - The Russian
Bears Longing for Afghans-A British
Lord Who Is Personally Responsible"
LONDON, April 23.-The recent arrest on
French territory by German policemen OF
NJ Schnael eles, a French commissary, and
the excitement throughout France over 1t,
extending TO the bourss and depressing the
rentes, show how slight matter may pre-
cipitate war between the two countries.
Even telegraph reports spread far and wide,
that the German government had ordered
the release of the commissary and given sat-
isfactory assurances to France, caused but
slight reaction but did not dissipate the fears
of war and the belief that the approach of
settled weather will witness the sudden COM
mencement of the long threatened struggle.
A Paris special states that Prince Bsmarck's
speech, crticising the attitude Of French
political circles in relation to Russian ALI
ance, has made bad impression. State
ments were current that although no formal
treaty between France and Russia had been
proposed, considerable progress bad been
male toward definite understanding in the
event of war breaking out between France
and Germany, Austria and Russia, or Russia
and Great Britain.
Regarding Russo English relations it is
learned from Vienna that the Russian press
is urging the car to advance the Russian
boundaries in central Asia before England is
better prepared. The annexation OF Afghan
istan is at least openly advocated. 1t /, rep
resented that Bokhara and Afghanistau are
the last buffers remaining between British
and Russian Asia, and that the first is al
ready under Russian influence and the alb
sorption of the latter should be accomplished
while the ameer is confronted with internal
difficulties on every side.

Of administration of the Grand Army of the
Republic, met at the Grand Pacific, Friday,
Samuel Harper, of Pennsylvania, being the

Grand Army claims that it has secured a
great many advantages to the wounded
